Political experts said Ann Romney is her husband's best advocate as he tries to close the gender gap ahead of the November presidential election.

"We have to remember she's not a politician and she went out there on stage and did an outstanding job," said Mark Jones, chair of the political science department at Rice University. "I would give her an A. We'll have to see if she gets an A+ when we look at the poll numbers in a few weeks."

Texan Jacob Becker was sitting in the audience as Ann Romney spoke to delegates and guests.

"I think it riled the female base of the party. I don't know if it won everyone else over," said Becker. "But it maybe reassured them it's not too crazy to like Mitt Romney. He's a likeable guy."
